Writing About Formative Events


Reflect on a formative event in your life. Reveal its drama by showing it from conclusion to beginning rather than chronologically. Begin again by writing from the middle and see where that might take you.

View its impact, meaning and social effects. Will a first, second or third person point of view create the most effective elements of narrative?

How would you alter the scene from your current perspective?

Creative Write: Use details to draw the reader in. Begin with a weather setting of color, fragrance and sound. Show the reader the dynamics of the situation with active verbs.
